Cincinnati Bengals quarterback AJ McCarron is preparing to start Saturday night in the wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
McCarron led the Bengals to wins over the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens in three starts since regular starter Andy Dalton broke his thumb.
The Bengals have not won a playoff game since 1990.
The Steelers are expected to update the status of starting running back DeAngelo Williams, who left Sunday’s win with an ankle injury. Williams reportedly believed the injury was only a sprain.
Le’Veon Bell was lost for the season in the Steelers’ Nov. 2 game against the Bengals.
